UPDATED: Out Today on DVD 5/13

The Indiana Jones Trilogy is number one on the list of films to catch on DVD today.

These new versions are new double-disc sets and are available individually for the first time. (You know, for you morons who think Temple of Doom isn’t as great as the others.)

The double-discs each contain never-before-seen behind-the-scenes material which is good news for behind-the-scenes nerds like myself. Basically, these are the must-own versions of the film until they finally decide to grace us with Blu-ray versions.

Next on the list is a perfect 10 out of 10 movie newly minted in the Blu-Ray format: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. (Here’s a link to a review of that film, along with five other great films you’re stupid to have not already seen.)

The last thing I would advise everyone to watch out for are a whole pile of Frank Sinatra pictures coming out tomorrow. It’s the 10th anniversary of his death (and such a shame, too…) and they’re pulling out all the stops on his library. A number of war films (like None but the Brave), musicals with Gene Kelly (Anchors Aweigh), early stuff (Double Dynamite) and classics (like the Man With the Golden Arm) are all finding new homes tomorrow.

I also have to personally vouch for Sinatra performances. But don’t take my word for it, Frank Capra once said that if Frank Sinatra were to quit singing and focus on acting, he’d be the greatest actor who ever lived.

Who knows, he might have been right.

UPDATE: I also totally spaced Francis Ford Coppolla’s return to cinema “Youth Without Youth”.  I’ve been hoping and waiting and expecting this film all over the place, but the theatrical release was no where to be found…

Having said that, I’ll be picking it up on DVD and checking it out and hoping that his next film gets at least a slightly wider release.
